Big Iron Bolts

La Veta, CO


Currently used by the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad, the LS&I-18 is a fully-restored, 2-8-0 Consolidation steam locomotive built by the American Locomotive Company at its Pittsburgh works in 1910. The LS&I, or Lake Superior and Ishpeming, was a northern Michigan railroad that primarily hauled iron ore, and when they were built, the C-5 Consolidations were the most powerful locomotives on the roster.


Best viewed at original size.

Great Image. This really puts great light on how heavy these "Iron Horses" must have really been. ~GMV~
